What have both matallic and nonmatallic properties?

Answer 1

I would describe Nonmetallic behavior as primarily being how nonmetals deal with electrons: nonmetals would either ACCEPT electrons from a metal to form an ionic bond OR SHARE electrons with another nonmetal in a covalent bond. So typically, nonmetals aren't going to donate electrons in ionic bonds, like metals do (metallic behavior).

Answer 2

Some materials, like metalloids, exhibit a combination of metallic and non-metallic properties. For example, silicon can behave like a metal in some instances, conducting electricity, but also like a non-metal in others, being brittle. These materials typically have properties of both metals and non-metals, allowing them to conduct electricity to a certain extent while also having varying degrees of reactivity.

Answer 3

many semiconductors do, for example silicon. That is partly why they are used to make computer chips. At low temperatures they are non conducting like a non metal, however at a certain temperatures electrons are "excited" into conduction bands and are able to conduct like a metal

Answer 4

non-metallic element is an element that accepts an electron or electrons to complete its valenced shell in order to attain electrical stability.

Answer 5

matallic properties are elements that contain some form of metal in them

and a non-matallic property is an element which does contain any form of metal

Answer 6

Non-metals are poor conductors of electricity, do not have metallic luster, are nonductile, have low boiling and melting points (besides carbon of course), and are brittle as a solid.

Answer 7

Examples: low thermal conductivity, low electrical conductivity, low hardness, not malleable, not ductile, without metallic bonds, etc.

Answer 8

a big theory a big theory

Answer 9

it is arsenic

Answer 10

they are brittle
